Dispel

Conscience calls me up
I’ve become a stranger in the worst kind of way
Was as close to unknown as I could’ve been

I see you at last passing by the gray arch of the bridge on the river
With the breeze like a hand holding me back

If I tell a joke that no one would get,
What am I to do when when there’s no one there to laugh
Wander through the park, searching for meaning across the garden
Dispel our guilt before it’s spent

Float through the old canals, a maze of city streets and I think I got turned around
But the lights flicker past and i’m nodding off
Bikers in the street, swarming all around me, like some portrait on parade
And for what’s it’s worth, I let it slip away

If I tell a joke that no one would get,
What am I to do when when there’s no one there to laugh
Wander through the park, searching for meaning across the garden
Dispel our guilt before it’s spent

If I tell a joke that no one would get,
What am I to do when when there’s no one there to laugh
Wander through the park, searching for meaning across the garden
Dispel our guilt before it’s spent
